Dear Madam:
The data which follow are found in the papers on file in pension claim, S. 45360, based upon service in the Revolutionary War of Abiathar Eaton.
Abiathar Eaton, of Townsend, Massachusetts, enlisted March 22, 1777, served as a private in Captain Hugh Maxwell's company, Colonel Bailey's Massachusetts regiment until the winter of 1780, then served in Captains Alden's and Cooper's Massachusetts companies and was discharged June 10, 1783, at Newburgh, New York.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 9, 1818, at which time he resided in Genesee County, New York. In 1820, Abiathar Eaton was a resident of Brighton, Ontario County, New York, aged then sixty-four years; the date and place of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown. He was a cooper by trade.
In 1820, the soldier stated that his family at home consisted of his wife, aged fifty years, one son, aged nineteen years, one son, aged thirteen years, and a son aged eight years. He did not state the name of his wife, the date and place of their marriage, nor the names of any of his sons.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should write to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and cite the following; Abiather Eaton, Certificate #11281, issued June 3, 1819, commenced April 9, 1818, rate $8 per month, Act of March 18, 1818, New York Agency.

BA-J/ILL Abiathar Eaton S. 45360
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to two brothers, Abijah and Abiathar Eaton, who served in the Revolutionary War and lived at one time in West Brighton, Monroe County, New York, which county was formerly Ontario County; you state, further, that one of them died in West Brighton and the other one moved to the middle west, probably Michigan, also, that one received a pension from the Government.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land which have been made to the United States based upon service.
A search of those records has been made and no claim for pension found based upon service of an Abijah Eaton in which it is shown that he ever resided in Ontario or Monroe County, New York. The claim has been found of only one Abiathar Eaton; he received a pension while a resident of New York State. His record is furnished you herewith as it may aid you in your research.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Dear Sir: ✓ I have two brothers, Abiah and Oliver , who served in the Revolutionary War. I have reports of their names and paid off from the Government. But I have no information in West Brighton, New York, N.Y. where they were said to have been in the early 1820s. so they may have been Abiah or Oliver of Ontario Co. One of them died in West Brighton and the other sometime later removed to the middle West. I have no record of their names. Do the old records give the names of these men (pensioners) and where they were when they died, their names and ages, if you have it, also the name and age of the one who died in West Brighton? I believe the one who died in West Brighton died previous to 1831.
Thanking you for any info. in this matter I am
Yours sincerely,
(M rs ) Mary L. Eaton
